The `Bun.file()` function accepts a path and returns a `BunFile` instance. `BunFile` extends `Blob`, so you can read the file lazily in a variety of formats. Use `.text()` to read the contents as a string.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const path = "/path/to/file.txt";
|
|
const file = Bun.file(path);
|
|
|
|
const text = await file.text();
|
|
// string
|
|
```

Bun resolves relative paths from the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const path = "./file.txt";
|
|
const file = Bun.file(path);
|
|
```
